Overview

• The film premiered at the 82nd Venice Film Festival on August 29, with Roberts making her first appearance at the event and addressing press questions.
• Roberts declined to declare whether the movie undercuts feminism or the #MeToo movement, saying its aim is to get audiences talking.
• Festival coverage highlights deliberate moral ambiguity in a story centered on a student’s assault allegation against a professor at Yale.
• Reports note plot elements such as a rapid dismissal of the accused professor and a complex portrayal of the accuser, without offering a clear moral resolution.
• Outlets differ on whether the title screened in or out of competition, and one report names Amazon as producer without broader confirmation.
